danbong Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I recommend training in the best style for you that is available in your area. Once you get to first or second degree it will be much easier to train long distance. At that point you might be able to train once a week or so and will have an easier time finding a training partner locally who also wants to learn long distance. ichi-go ichi-e 一期一会one encounter, one chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G95champ Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Yeah I would say do what is local. In time you may have a chance to do others. But 200miles is a lot for anyone. (General George S.

bushido_man96 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 If you are really that set on learning Hapkido, moving might be your best option. Otherwise, train locally, and maybe something will come your way.You never know, you might meet someone training locally that has some Hapkido experience, and you could work out with them. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it will depend on the demographics of the area you are marketing. There may be a reason there is no school there right now. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldberg603 Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 do you think i could learn by video ? looking to learn hapkido open to any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 It depends on how much prior experience you have with the Martial Arts, and joint manipulation in general. There are a lot of nuances that you can't see and don't get explained in videos that you will miss. Those things come with time and experience.You could always try it and see, but you will need a training partner, and you will have to be careful not to hurt your parnter. Having an instructor is always the highly recommended route to take, though. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
